Re-size Image in popup for viewlisting.tpl

[jason1971 +]

Hi all,
With the version of 68 class I have, just wondering how I can re-size the popup image in viewlistings.tpl. the website goes grey and shows up the image which all looks great, but the image shown is far to small, any thoughts on how to enlarge it please ?

Many thanks in advance

Jason

Are you using thickbox? If you are then what size images are being loaded up by your advertisers? Thickbox will take the size of the image loaded in general which you should be setting in your admin control panel.

This is a recurring theme in general: rubbish in and rubbish out. You should tell your advertisers the size of images that are going to work best on your site and especially the proportions (landscape or portrait, ratio width/height, etc). For example, if you set your thumbs to be landscape then of course those entering portrait images are going to look distorted. Unfortunately, experience tells me this is not even enough. Some will always enter badly sized and badly proportioned images for how you are setting up to display them. Often site owners provide a link to an online service for scaling and trimming (important) images.

yes I am using a thickbox (mad name), sorry i did not realise that was what it was called.

I understand (I think) what your saying, but would it be possible to set a minimum height and width to show the image or to enlarge the image somehow ?

Take a look in the javascript for the thickbox. There may be controls that can be set as there are in many jquery type galleries.
